Why are so many American kids struggling with reading today?
In this video, I break down the real reasons behind America’s reading crisis—and it’s not just phones or “lazy kids.” Schools across the U.S. are seeing historic drops in reading ability, and teachers are sounding the alarm. From broken curriculum choices, lack of phonics instruction, failing reading programs, and distracted classrooms, to the impact of social media and parents being pulled away from reading at home… we need to talk about what’s really happening.
In this video you’ll learn:
✔️ Why kids aren’t mastering basic reading skills anymore
✔️ What schools and teachers say is going wrong
✔️ Why phonics and structured literacy matter
✔️ The truth about reading scores, screen time and comprehension
✔️ What parents and educators can do right now
If you’re a teacher, parent, or student, this is a conversation America urgently needs.
